These guidelines are intended as a reference for cycling and wine tasting safely, in compliance with Italian law. However, they are purely indicative, as various individual factors — such as health condition, temperature or level of fatigue — may affect alcohol tolerance. Legal Limits in Italy The Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) limit permitted by Italian law is 0.5 g/L of blood, as provided for by Article 186 of the Italian Highway Code. For newly licensed drivers, during the first three years after obtaining their driving license, and for drivers under the age of 21, the BAC limit is 0.0 g/L. Bicycles are vehicles, and cyclists are therefore required to comply with the rules of the Highway Code. They may be subject to checks and, in the event of an accident, BAC testing is routinely carried out by the competent authorities. Factors Affecting BAC

• Body weight: the heavier the person, the more alcohol is diluted
• Sex: women metabolize alcohol more slowly than men
• Drinking pace: slower consumption reduces BAC peaks
• Food in the stomach: significantly slows alcohol absorption

  Safe Glass Estimates per Tasting (13% vol. wine, 60-70 ml glass) Indicative values with food, consumed over approximately 1 hour:

Body Weight	Male (max glasses)	Female (max glasses)
60 kg	~4	~3
75 kg	~5	~4
90 kg	~6	~5

Practical Tips

• Eat food during the tasting
• Drink plenty of water between wines
• Allow a rest break before getting back on the bike 

Breathalyzer Test When you leave the store, you can purchase a disposable single-use chemical breathalyzer to perform a preliminary BAC test after tasting.

Absolutely not. We offer solutions for everyone: you can pedal independently at your own pace, or choose a guided tour with expert guides.
